Description
The Scout class is the smallest JumpShip still in use. It's small carrying capacity (1 DropShip) means that it's primarily used for military operations - the maintenance costs are too prohibitive for it to be viable commercially. It does, however, possess up-to-date medical and recreation facilities and the bridge is quite modern by comparison to larger class vessels.
Armament
These vessels do not, by default, possess any armaments. There is a fighter bay, however, and it is likely that a Scout will have a single AeroSpace Fighter to ward off attackers.
Cargo
The Scout can carry up to 450 tons of cargo in the cargo section.
Variants
No major variants exist, but numerous minor ones do exist. Perhaps the best-known is that of the Quetzacoatl of House Liao that converted its cargo space into heavy fighter bays, thereby enabling the ship to act as a fighter support carrier.
